As part of Women’s History Month, we would like to showcase another notable female figure in pharmacy. Mary Munson Runge broke down barriers as the first female, first African American, and the first employee of a community pharmacy. In response to her working at a community pharmacy she stated, “The greatest experience was helping poor African American people who couldn’t even pay for their medicine. Pharmacy gave me an opportunity to help people who needed help.” Like Mary, we take value in helping others.
